- Howard Tsumura has a good piece on the 80-68 exhibition loss Trinity Western suffered against Minnesota Friday, a game where they were within two points with five minutes left.

By comparison, UBC lost 80-62 to Minnesota a few days earlier; Rob already linked Howard's piece on that one, but it's here for reference [The Province].
